"Why have you not used it?"

Too much work. It's cheaper/easier to buy food at the local produce stand. I grow some tomatoes and bell peppers each year in a 8' X 8' plot. I keep the tiller in running condition, 'just in case'.

I have all sort of things, 'just in case'. LOL.

Last Sunday I stopped a my local grocer store and tomatoes were priced at $4.00 a pound. I bought some 5' tall tomato and pepper plants yesterday

$4.00 a pound tomatoes is why I bought the tiller. I also noticed yesterday that bell peppers are 90 cents each. Assparagus was $4.00 a pound and the stems were about the size of a pencil. There were 6 pieces of squash that looked like it had leprosy. And this was at an HEB store here in Houston.

I think it may actually be cheaper to grow a garden this year.
